UNESCO Reviews

Worth the entry fee. You can easily spend a whole day in there

Amazing seeing the crown jewels and not only. Worth a visit if in London.

Gary the Yeoman/Beefeater made us all chuckle whilst dispensing nuggets of historical facts in his guided tour of the Tower of London this morning. A must see. Highly recommended 11/10 with rice

Throughly enjoyed my day with my wife at Tower of London. Great to wander around one of the royal palaces in the capital. There are regular guided tours with the Yeoman wardens, areas to visit in many of the key areas within the walls, along with fantastic views over London and the River Thames. A great day helped by the weather! Not so easy with very young children, many areas are only accessible by stairs, the Crown Jewles can be accessed with prams however

Had a fantastic visit today. The highlight being the amazing tour delivered by the Yeoman Steve. So worthwhile, the kids (and adults) loved it.

If you only have time to visit a couple places while in London, make sure this is one of them. There's so much history here, I recommend taking the Beefeater tour and listening to some of their stories. Worth the 45 minutes!

An absolute must for anyone visiting London for the first time. You can spend the whole day there and not get bored. There's food and drinks inside.

A most enjoyable experience. Will definitely visit again

Brilliant absolutely loved it even with the heavy rain . Lots to see and learn about . Even to this day they are still uncovering part of history in the towers walls will defo go again. Ideal for couples and families. Only thing I would suggest is get there early if you want to see the crown jewels or prepaid for a very long que

This was such a great time! I didn't even really want to go that badly but I enjoyed every minute once I was there. The Yeoman Warder who led our tour did a fantastic job. The reenactments of attacks on the tower were hilarious and informative. Fun for all ages, and SO much to see and do!

If you haven't been you need to, History at its best!

What can I say? Probably one one the top historic tourist attractions in the world. Great blend of political and military history dating back 940 years. Gruesome tales of executions and daring escapes. Then there's the crown jewels. Staffed by amazingly knowledgeable and friendly people. A must see if you are visiting London. You can easily spend at least half a day here and only scratch the surface.

Magnificent Norman structure in the centre of London. A monument to William the conqueror where you can see the Crown Jewels amongst other things.

Great day out! Always a bit more fun if you can visit in the off seasons or in winter when you can also go ice skating.

Brilliant. The queue for the crown jewels on Saturday was mental but during the week, not too bad. Loads to see and a decent room with activities for kids. Want to avoid that during the weekdays though because there were quite a few schools.

Everyone must see this amazing 1000 year old structure. Incredible history! Beautifully preserved.

Plenty to do and see, would highly recommend a guided tour by a beefeater.

Beautiful display of British history. Very well put together and done so in an educational way. Great fun for anybody who enjoys history, fantastic architecture or England in general. Absolutely worth the money and I would recommend everybody and anybody to visit the Tower of London during their time in London.

Great day out. Worth every penny of the entrance price and the kids loved It!

The tour with our Yoeman Warder, Scott Kelley was by far the highlight of our first day touring London. He was thorough, entertaining, funny, and educational. We really appreciated being guided through the grounds as he helped us understand the significant history that has taken place there. We we're quite shocked to hear that he is relatively new to the job! His professionalism, passion and obvious knowledge was impressive! We highly recommend doing the Tower of London and if you can get on one of the free guided tours you will not be sorry!

Wasn't expecting it too be as big as it was or for there too be so much too see. Great historical museum. We ran out of time today would definitely go back.

Really interesting. I felt we definitely got our money's worth. Crown jewels are a must see.

Brilliant historic site. Tour is funny and informative. Just don't go in the rain or it will be cancelled. Which happened to us

Crown jewels and a spy video is very nice. enjoyed the place and recommend a visit

Phantastic experience with the kids, didn't go for any of the hot spots (such as the crown jewels, much too busy) but simply enjoyed the outdoors. There was a play going on with knights slaying a red dragon - best entertainment you can wish for with little ones!

Great historical place for tourists. The guided tour is a must.

One of the nicest Castles I've visited in the UK. The line to see the Crown Jewels vase way to long for me to sit and wait, so did not do that. However, there is close to 1000 years of history here and you can see much of it threw out. I have mixed opinions about that because the zoo parts were just annoying. I reccomend watching some YouTube videos before you go. There is not much onsite information. However, they do have guides and portable audible guides available.

It is a must see castle with a long history of use.

"Beyond the Deepening Shadow" stunning armistice memorial.

The White Tower and Crown Jewels were amazing

We arrived at 9:30 am on Sunday morning and waited in the group ticket line. At 10 am they opened the ticket booths and the line moved quick. They took our vouchers and gave us printed tickets. The line to get into the tower gates was very long and it took another 25 minutes to get in. Once in side you have to pay 5 pounds if you want audio guides. We then waited another 20 minutes in another line for the crown jewels but it was worth it. They were amazing to see and the flow of people moves well once inside. The white tower was also amazing to see all the amour of past kings and other historical items. The only thing we would do different is not go early in the morning since once we got outside the gates there we no lines any more

Always nice to see the Tower of London. All that history and so much more to do nearby. HMS Belfast, The Shard. Good day out.

Such a great and historic site! Lots to see! Well worth the ticket price! Highly recommend the Beefeater tour that starts on the grassy moat area right at the entrance. Our guide was very funny and told us a lot about the history of the castle.

There's no better place to take good pictures. Only if you are on boat cruise then you can have a nice picture of the whole bridge. The history outside is very informative, thank you.

Wow what amassing day we had today .
Visit to The tower of London.
Then a boat trip down the river .
Then a meal in China town .
Definitely be going back for another visit soon I hope.

Historical Royal Capital of Norman Britain. Very well presented attraction on the River Thames. Royal Treasury
Boat excursions dock there.

The Tower of London Beefeater tour is now legendary as shown by the number of hits 'Beefeater Bill' Callaghan's tour has had on YouTube but that's only the start of it. There's so much history on display that you can easily spend and entire day in the Tower. I highly recommend taking at least 3 hours out of your day to visit.

Beautiful views and devoted staff made this a highlight of my trip

Had a great time and a beautiful day. DO NOT MISS the Yeoman guided tour, the guy is a blast. Highly recommended!

Fantastic afternoon visit. Plenty to see and learn. Would recommend the audio guide.

This is a great historical place! You should to see!

Great place to visit. It helps if you have some understanding of British history. The arms and armor display was very impressive. The crown jewels were amazing. The guides were very informative. Great fun, educational, and interesting visit. Kids loved it.

We had a fantastic day at the Tower today. With restricted numbers it was wonderful to stroll around with no queues for anything. There are some areas that are closed at theoment for example the Mint. Staff and Yeoman were all very happy and helpful. Would love to go again and would recommend!

Went to see display marking the end of the Great War. Huge crowds, poor crowd control methods, abrupt rude staff but thank goodness for Met Police PCs on crowd control from GD and CE. Good humoured and helpful.

Surrounding area is a must visit whilst in London. Good cafes and restaurants...

Very well maintained. No historical background needed, everything is explained very well. For an Indian Kohinoor diamond is the pride... Loved the place

There used to be a lot more armor in here. Now it's just samples of armor of type and era. Essential visit for tourists. Good interactive sections for kids. No one will be bored.

Excellent, loved it! A lot of interesting facts and artifacts! Beautiful site, marvellous vantage points for stunning photos! I enjoyed the experience thoroughly!

Be sure to take a Beefeater tour. This was very exciting and so convenient for riding the Tube.

Lots of interesting history and Crown jewels just amazing to see in real life!

Wow great place to visits. Wonderful actors and tons to see. Lots of stolen gold and gems from over the centuries of stealing... From Henry viii treatment of the Catholics burning of churches and Ireland treatment to battles with France and Spain. At least they are taking care of it.

Really well thought out layout which caters for all ages. Even though really busy it's possible to find space to sit and rest. Good interactive displays and the staff were really helpful and happy to share their knowledge of current events and past history.

Great... all kinds of interesting nooks and crannies. An excellent place for a day of pottering about

Really interesting place due it's historical meaning but facility organization is not optimal. Still enjoyed and obviously recommend for everyone

Amazing tour

We were lucky to get Bill Callaghan to take the Tour, have to say he was the highlight of our trip to London. He is clearly passionate about his job as one of the Tower Beefeater's and a very funny natural Story Teller.....

If your American just remember he is only Joking......

The tour is packed full if historic facts and English Wit throughout and really uncovers the history of such a historic place.

Once concluded we wandered around the various Towers and viewed the Crown Jewels which are just mind blowing. They had so much wealth they made a Punch Bowl the size of a bath out of solid gold?!!!

Also home to Fusiliers Museum which is also worth a visit to discover the history of this great Regiment of the British Army.

A great day and well worth a visit

Awesome place to visit. If you go to London by train print off a voucher for 2 for 1 entry.

The free tour was amazing and insightful! Crown jewels are spectacular!

Love the crowns, a lovely long walk and saw the ravens.

It is a very nice place. It is the place where Kohinoor is present.

Really cool place if you like history. Crown jewels aren't my thing, but worth seeing. The rest of the fortress was fascinating to see. We spent a few hours there but you can easily spend a lot more time there

Amazing place, give the artillery section a miss, once you have seen one armour body suit you don t need to see a hundred more!!

Outstanding place. Full of history. Try and avoid Xmas period as unbelievably busy

Great experience. If you like history, you won't be disappointed!

So much to see...so much history!! Strongly recommend!! We visited from USA...can't wait to visit again.

Great place to visit, enough things to read / listen to / look at that you can really make it take as long as you like, all day if you want. At least give it a few hours I'd say.

It's not cheap but it's pretty unique, so if you're here you may as well eh?

Interesting British History. Loved this place. I will recommend to buy on-line ticket to save time, and some money.

Brilliant place. Loads to do and see. Very historical

Get the audio tour. The tour only takes you to four stops and you get more history from the audio guide and can go at your pace.

Absolutely brilliant. Warden Benson was amazing. So knowledgeable with a touch of comedy and lots of enthusiasm.

Be ready to spend entire day there. Loved the history. Make sure you take a tour

Fantastic historical site! Make sure you take the Yeoman tour, our guy was the best!

A lot of different areas. This places holds the crown jewels. We didn't have time to take a long look around, but what we did see was a lot of fun. Do not eat the food there.... very expensive and not worth it. Eat before or after you decide to go.

It s really nice and very good because it has history

Great day out, very interesting. Kids loved it
Things are a bit expensive though so allow enough money

Can't miss a must see. Without kids I took my time and spent about 3 hours to see everything. Get there when it opens and see the Crown Jewels first!

Update, came back with the family, spent another 3 hours here the exhibits are all still top of the line. Okay so also came during a holiday, massive crowds so be prepared for a long queue unless you can get here early .

Tickets for an adult is 27 pounds but it's a worthwhile visit. Our tour guide Jim Duncan, yeoman sergeant warder was brilliant and humorous. We attended the tour at 14:30hours and lasted for an hour.

Good day out for all the family. Plenty to see and experience. Warders sense of hour brilliant. Well worth the visit

Well worth a visit plenty to see. Yeoman tour guide is a must.

Took my 2 grandsons they enjoyed the whole experience.
